What is an easy new python, monitor or gecko

[mattmc]

Hi all you reptile fanatics. Ive got myself two beardies and i am planning on breeding them next season. I am also looking for new reptiles, particularly pythons, monitors or geckos. I was wondering what you guys would recommend. I am only class1.
Cheers

If you're in WA, I've got a stimsons for sale with an enclosure and everything required for sale.
Excellent feeder, excellent handler.

go for a childrens python or somthin

A species of python would be easiest IMO providing you have the right setup from the beginning. There is less feeding & cleaning compared to lizards.

Ackies are GREAT! I love mine..they are so friendly..they come straight to me and jump right into my hands for a scratch..They are a great 1st monitor

bredlis are a great first python,...

 

[eladidare]

coastals or bredlis are good first snakes, ackies and beardies are good first lizards

my first was a diamond python, awesome temperament, can be a little fussy when eating but other than that easy as too look after. Our darwins are awesome too, eat everytime and never bite...

Stimson pythons are amazing for a first snake, they have a great temperment. Here's some pictues of my 5 month old female Ziggy:

Can never have enough pictures of your reptiles

Also another snake would be the Murray Darling Carpet Python however they probably wouldn't be the best for a first snake unless you're willing to take a few bites to start off with.

Murray-darlings are an excellent first python. They generally have a good temprement and don't grow as large as a coastal python. They are at the affordable end of the spectrum as well.

Are you serious!? MDs are known for having a WONDERFUL temperament and are highly recommended as a fantastic beginner's snake...

...Chris - I think you lucked out with the psycho of the species

I need to take back my statement! He's calmed right down now and doesn't bite anymore! I think he was just a little stressed out from being freighted!

i got a coastal as my first and i am so glad i got it. For a gecko go with a diplodactylus sp or a bynoes gecko. ackies or gillens are good first monitors
